Yeah this is pretty much it for me, I'm anxious and excited to hear their last hurrah. There has been a bit of buzz that maybe the entire break up note was just another mind trip, which would be a very interesting development, but I'm definitely not getting my hopes up.

Funny story: A while back I got really interested in a few of Ride's cryptic tattoos. One of them is just a number: 4131295, and another is a series of very intentional looking checkered blocks/squares that look like some sort of boolean series. I'm a computer scientist by trade, so I transcribed the number and blocks into data and did a bit of poking around to see if I could find any correlation/pattern, but didn't really come up with much. Finally, I put up a little splash page on my web space referencing the tattoos:

Well, recently a bunch of Death Grips fans and ARG pursuers actually found the page and thought it was a piece of the puzzle. I got lots of emails and various messages and even a voice message on my cell phone. Never my intention, but I certainly should have seen it coming.

Outside of that, I've been eagerly anticipating a new Joanna Newsom record for some time now. 2015 seems likely.
